I'm a Research Fellow in the LIVE Centre, appointed in April 2007 to explore lifelong learning in veterinary education. Therefore adult learning theory, continuing professional development, and career aspirations and choices are things that fall within my remit.

I'm really interested to see how the pathology residents engage with this resource. I also like evaluation research, so determining the usefulness of the resource as a teaching aid is of interest to me i.e. how can we validate it?

I'm also interested in how we can replicate good face to face communication in an online environment, as i think it's the 'personal touch' that will be most difficult to simulate online. As we discussed at the July 07 workshop, this can be simulated through reflection and personal anecdotes.<br>

I'd quite like to establish a section on teaching tips and pedagogy, so we can look at things like how we 'scaffold' learning (Bruner's term).

My best learning experience ....? This takes me back to being an archaeology student. We had this great lecturer, John Barrett. He was a bronze or iron age man (I can't actually remember now!), and he was very inspirational, especially on field trips. What I liked about John's teaching was that he encouraged us to thing about exploring archaeological sites in three dimensions i.e. imagine how the spaces would have been constructed, where the walls and doors would have been, and how people moved through space. I guess that's got implications for virtual space. How will people navigate through this virtual world that we're creating? How do they recreate meaning? Where are the doors and the walls? Are there restricted spaces that only certain people can explore? Is knowledge power :-)
